Yes I know about the other one. Yes I’ve seen it and yes it’s better. For some reason though this movie moved me. I don’t know anything about Bob Dylan. Never been a fan (don’t like his voice) but what I appreciated about the film is the way they showed him constantly working. I haven’t written anything in months. I’ve pushed it off, saying to myself ”what’s the point, nobody wants this, nobody needs this”. Seeing him push ahead and not be bogged down by what people wanted from him was inspiring as hell to me. So many people tried to box him in and keep him from experimenting with his art, which to me is the death of an artist. We’re meant to try. That’s all just try. Even if it will be a complete failure and laughed at, the act of trying is what makes art beautiful. I thought it was an ok movie. But seeing someone trying really hit me and me me realize that I need to make shit for me. That’s what Bob did.

“Don’t give up. I mean, try your best. You’ve done something. You’ve actually created something on the screen that’s there and you should be proud of that. It’s physically there now the emotional part will eventually materialize. Cough it up, cough it up gang, cough it up. It actually exists. Which is important. Because pictures are important. You’ve actually tried, you’ve tried very hard. And the trying shows. I want to thank you for trying. And I want to thank you for presenting this thing which evidently comes from deep inside your possible gut. And it has effected our soul in places we don’t realize right now it’s going to take time to seep in, seep out. And um it’s it’s uh it’s really quite an attempt. It’s been attempted and it’s, um, success is around the corner. Thank you. For that experience.”

a really weird movie. one of those movies where you’re thinking “this movie is fucking weird” while watching, but you’re left with a good feeling when it’s over. what i took from it, considering myself a songwriter, is that you can‘t project onto artists or strive to be like them. everyone’s got their own struggle, sometimes it’s secret. i love domhnal gleeson too, so that makes it even better.

i never thought i’d find my 10/10 movie but i think this is it
i’m moved, amazed, and also feel seen somehow
every detail made such an impact
between the living situation and dustin hoffmann‘s supreme performance, it brought me to tears so many times
i never knew how much one movie could impact so much of cinema, even freaking elf
i don’t need to watch another movie for a long time lol
i could write a book on all of this, yet i’m astounded and lacking words
i think joe buck represents so much of the innocence/naivety we start with in life (also omg i couldn’t believe that was jon voight at first!)
and i feel like rizzo ratzo rico is the polar opposite, jaded reality of what it feels like in the real world. his pain came through so strong and hit me like a bunch of swords to the soul.
there’s so much more to it than just that but that’s all for now.

Don’t be that person. Mf got a banana and a Celsius, something is going down and they need to make a quick exit. You got mad vegetables anyway, let the cashier breathe a little before they struggle to remember how to ring up them green onions you copping.

I have no context at all but I love it. Feels like I’m missing out but that’s alright it’s just good to hear somebody having a big ol belly laugh and enjoying this shit while we’re breathing.

I just want to show love to the ELITE Bagel. Whoever was the freak that was like “hear me out let’s put blueberry’s in the dough”, I know they were looking at you crazy but you knew you had a hit on your hands.
